CHICAGO (dpa-AFX) - Boeing (BA) and Emirates SkyCargo announced an order for
five additional 777 Freighters. The new purchase takes Emirates' order book to
245 Boeing widebody airplanes, including 10 777 Freighters. Emirates SkyCargo is
the cargo division of Emirates.

Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates
airline and Group, said: 'The next phase of our strategy will include a full
assessment for our future freighter fleet reviewing all aircraft options to
ensure we are best equipped to respond to the evolving demands of the market and
reaffirming our confidence in the role of airfreight and, more specifically,
Emirates SkyCargo, in global trade.'

Boeing noted that the 777 Freighter can fly further and carry more freight than
any other twin-engine cargo jet. The 777 Freighter is the company's best-selling
freighter airplane with more than 265 deliveries to date.
